Sorry to drag you down!! DD took this picture of the Grape Soda iris.

@digitS' Just copied your Rhubarb Pie / Strawberry Rhubarb Pie recipe Thanks! I have two HUGE rhubarbs wanting to be shorn and baked!!

Nope! It's for Tegan.

If you have ever used 3 month Preen, you know that it kills any plant under 3 inches tall. It's just a help for keeping weeds away from your roots, especially if it's a new planting and your vegetable/flower roots aren't very deep. This just kills plants for almost a whole season. Some of us...

Back to gardening... I need to get all of the strawberries in their strawberry pot--many have red flowers on them, but straight water won't cut it for long. Don't think the upcoming frosts should bother them much. Recovering from a minor sniffly cold, so nothing done yesterday or the previous...

May 2nd--Friday Night: Areas of frost after 4am Saturday: Areas of frost before 7am.

My Red Avalon has Features that help you drive Better. ALL are manually turned on and manually turned off. One of them slows you down while on cruise control if the car in front of you is slower, and you are kept about 3-4 car lengths behind. Another will stop your car if you are distracted...

The crummy garage towed my White Avalon yesterday, mid day. I called at 4:30PM to see if it would be ready today. NOPE. They still have to check it out. :confused: It was Supposed to be ready a week ago when I picked it up. I am honoring the insurance company bc they are picking up the tab...

The problem is the stupid idea to wait until your female dog is 2yo to spay. People pretty much Never spay a mare, they just keep the stallion away. Harder to do with a dog. Tegan is set to be spayed June 1st. Vet warned me of hip problems if I don't wait until she is 2yo. I cannot abide the...

This helps, too...

My silly little town is full of people whose Hobby is to mow. Neighbor mows this strip that is My property, but was never fenced in, but sits behind His property, simply bc he likes to mow it. A few years ago DD rode my mare and we took a video there. She dropped some manure on it, neighbor...

When it's rainy, then dries out between rainstorms, cut Short. When it's dry, cut long.

Tarps are my new friend. I completely covered all of the 4' wide stone edging between the house and south and turning east sidewalk in 2025 bc I was tired of the weedfest there, and it has really helped me. I used saved and damaged plastic tablecloths and a few old tarps, and you cannot see...

Eldest DD loved the clamps and has them under the Victrola in her LR, so she won't lose them before the next project. SOOOO many calls to make: 1) Crummy car repair shop, that my insurance insSISted I give a 2nd chance for my 2012 White Avalon to "make it right," even though those words were...

Tegan and Crazy Cat...daily ritual...

As the saying goes, "just do it." Easiest way is to tie together 3 wood pallets, making the 4th one a gate. Simply fill it. When it's full, empty it out next to the pallets and refill. End of season you can dig trenches in your beds and bury your compost. A corner of your property is a good...

IF you were to watch me around the house YOU would diagnose ME as ADHD. I start a job, on the way to do something else I get distracted by another job, then a rest, then I stop and start a few more. Really, so MANY of us are like that and the NORM. It is the NON ADHD that are unusual. Yes...
